    I had to look up Love Island because the name was too on-the-nose. Nah, it’s literally just straight people yet again trying to find love in the most toxic-sounding manner.

      reality stuff is so exhausting because they can never just actually have it be real, like good lord give me 10 people on a tropical island in the style of survivorman! It doesn’t have to be drama, people like slow tv and humans just like seeing other humans do things, and the budget would be some camera equipment and a helicopter with medical staff on standby…

          unfortunately the same effect isn’t achieved when people just take the headset off and go to bed in their own home

    I’m never actually going to look it up, but from what I understand, Labubu is like Beanie Babies for Gen Alpha or something?

      Yeah, but they’re just different colors of a Where the Wild Things Are ripoff. Do not see the point. Beanie Babies had more of a point. Fucking Funko Pops have more of a point, at least those are related to a character from something you like. These are just weird creepy dolls, 90% of which are probably going to be collecting dust in a year or two.
